The Marriage of Christ and His Church

Pastor Scott Brenner Ephesians 5:22-33
[5:22] Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
[5:23] For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.
[5:24] Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
[5:25] Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,
[5:26] that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,
[5:27] that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.
[5:28] So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.
[5:29] For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.
[5:30] For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.
[5:31] "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh."
[5:32] This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
[5:33] Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
